I bought a packet of lamb loin chops, which according to the Pioneer lady would be fabulous baked up Italian style with fresh tomatoes. Okay, maybe on her planet. Or, the lamb I bought was inferior. Don't really know, but I do know that I won't be buying any more of that particular cut or anyway from that ranch.
To make a long story longer, the tough, hardly any meat, gristly bones were plucked out of the nice sauce, boiled up for awhile longer in my chicken stock, with some added millet, and more veggies, at which point the original sauce was added back in, and they became a whole new thang. A better thang too. Topped off with fresh mint from my garden. A hearty, tasty stew/soup for those chilly Fall days.
To be honest, I was looking for barley and realized we were totally out. However, there being an exact cup of millet that needed desperately to be used..... it was.
